<p>Starsailor emerged as one of the most influential British bands of the post-Britpop era. The band is best known for chart-topping singles such as &#8216;Good Souls&#8217; and &#8216;Alcoholic&#8217; from their critically acclaimed debut album<a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/7vw5dp5jZoAUgaW37nEg6B?si=VlRDGGY0RIySbj0cLGgBhA" target="_blank"> &#8216;<em>Love Is Here</em>&#8216;</a> (2001), which solidified their place in the UK music scene and continues to be a favourite amongst fans. Their most successful song on the <a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/songs/starsailor-silence-is-easy/" target="_blank">UK Singles Chart</a> is &#8216;Silence Is Easy&#8217;, which peaked at No. 9 in 2003. This remains their highest-charting single in the UK and was the lead track from their second album, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/5O6gC1eGSGRFXbALNjveVv?si=2RyVcaUdRESoIm1j0h9t4Q" target="_blank">&#8216;<em>Silence Is Easy</em>&#8216;</a> (2003). The song helped solidify their presence in the British alternative rock scene.<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fglU5Ngd-Pk?si=gIiNQ350qLXMZjaB" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>The band said on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFUr4LjteQ1/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>: &#8220;Join us for six European shows in October and nine UK gigs in November as we play a career-spanning set in recognition of our two-and-a-half decades together. We cannot wait to return to some of our favourite cities and play to fans who have followed us since the early days.&#8221;</p>
